I've been on 1200 since last March. I usually manage between 1100 and 1300. It's not easy but it is doable. If u send me a friend request ull see my diary.

As a 44 year old mother of 4 who's lost 49lbs (most of it in 6months) I look back and wish I had done it 10 years ago. As the others have said, only you can do it. Support is wonderful but really it's up to you. If u want to do it you can. It won't be easy but it might be easier then you imagine. If I'd known how well it'd…

Join us in the Fat 2 Fit group. It's great.

Hi I like ur idea. I'd love to see diaries from people who are getting it right. Im 125lbs now having lost 48. I just do my own thing dietwise but I'll send u a friend request if u like.

Thank you all. I really appreciate the advice and insight. The more I read the more I look forward to getting started.

Thank you

Brilliant, thank you. I'm delighted to hear that. I would prefer to get on with it by myself.

Thank you. I appreciate the replies. I really am a bit clueless. I don't fully understand alot of it. I've just been piecing it together as I go along. I've read the links and I've ordered the book. Is it naive to think I can do it myself or should I get help? I really don't want to be wasting my time or worse, injure…

Thank u. I'll do my cardio at the end this week and see if I can do heavier weights beforehand.

Yes I do exactly this Mondays, Tues Thursday and Friday (occasionally I miss a day). I've worked my way up to this number of reps and weights.

I really relate to this. I think it might be abit of that going on with me too. I have to accept I won't look like a 20 year old version of myself now that I'm in my 40s!

At the moment I do this after 30 mins on the rowing machine Bench press 5kg x2 10 x 3 Bicep curl 5kg (plus bar) 10 x 3 Tricep ext 2.5kg 12 x 3 Calf raises 6 x 3 Rows 7.5kg 10 x 3 (each arm) Tricep dips 6 x 3 lateral raise 2.5kg x2 8 x 3 Shoulder press 10kg 8 x 3 Chest press 10kg 8 x 3 lat pull down 15kg 12 x 3 leg press…

Thank you everyone. That's very interesting. I'm hopeful the look I'm going for is possible

This happens to me too. I find getting a good sleep helps it a little but I just try not to give in too much and accept I can be back to being good in a couple of days.

I guess I'm disappointed that I don't look fantastic. I thought I'd look brilliant if I weighed this much but my skin is saggy on my belly and my arms have no definition. I don't really look skinny.

Thank you @TavistockToad I've made it public now, it was set to friends.

Ud fit in there twice now! Amazing

I switch between a Polar a370 and a Garmin vivo hr plus and I love the stats and wearing one definitely makes me more active. I bought one for my husband who was fairly inactive as far as specific exercise and he's started running because of it.

Start to log your food and keep it up. Don't cheat. Then join the Fat2Fit monthly group challenge on here. I find it so good. There are lots of people in the same situation and we try every day to be better and keep on track. Good luck

Hello I wonder if uve tried logging what u eat for a couple of days/weeks and when u have an idea of how many calories u are eating you could add to it by eating a little more, as in up your portions abit. Sorry I'm not much help but I wish you well. Good luck.

Same time zone over here in Cork too. Add me if u like

Best of luck

I lost 44lbs since Feb. So that's 8 months but I had list the first 40 lbs in about 5 months. I seem to be making hard work of the last 10lb. My goal is 50lbs. I just count my calories and try to do as much exercise as I can. Good luck

Every morning after I pee and every night last thing so I can sleep in peace! Yes, abit obsessed but I'm down 44lbs so it seems to be working

Me too. Colder and my bed isn't as comfortable. It's great though. Today I sorted out my wardrobe and every single thing (some stuff is 20 years old!) fit or was way too big. It was a fantastic feeling!
